Y'aaaaaall. Holy moly. OK, so my boyfriend and I were super-duper green first time homebuyers. We realized how much we'd spent in rent over the course of ten years and after the shock subsided, we decided it made NO sense to renew our lease, which was ending in three months. (I know. As it turned out three months wasn't a lot of time to buy a house. Who knew?) We started obsessively looking for homes on HAR with little thought about finding a realtor. (Mistake #1) And, we applied for a home loan through our big ol' bank, CHASE. (Mistake #2) So of course we found a gorgeous home in our budget and started relentlessly hounding the listing agent. Zero. No response. This happened multiple times. When we did get a response from the listing agent, the first question was almost always were we working with a realtor. So, we figured, OK, we might need to google this 'realtor' and figure out what's going on. Boy were we right. I went to YELP to find someone who had successfully worked with first time homebuyers, and man, am I glad I did. Evan's reviews were so flattering, they were almost comical. Duh. Of course I emailed him. We heard back from him the very next day and from then on he was our champion. He was not afraid of our utter ignorance, was patient and calm, and most importantly- incredibly responsive. When we did find a house that we wanted to offer on, Evan was super quick to put together our bid. And when we were offered the 'back-up' position on the house, Evan encouraged us to take it...which we did. While we were initially really disappointed at being the back-up offer, it ultimately led to purchasing our home at under the asking price. Evan walked us through every step. He didn't just help us buy a house, he helped us get a better rate on a loan by suggesting a quick and helpful mortgage company (shout out to Heather Thomas and Lisa Billings at Fearon Financial! Thanks for hustling on our behalf.), helped us find affordable home insurance, put together a bid that helped us get our dream home for under the asking price, negotiated tirelessly, responded immediately to our panics. It was amazing to work with him. Without his help and advice, we would have given up on our dream of buying an historic home. I am writing this review on the back patio of my beautiful historic house that costs us (with taxes, insurance, and everything!) $50 a month less than we were paying in rent. So, thanks, Evan! Sincerely, you are the best and I encourage anyone undertaking the big scary of buying their first house in Houston to immediately contact you. Much gratitude, Sarah and Michael Side note: CHASE guaranteed that we couldn't/didn't qualify for a standard loan (which is best when trying to buy an old house) and after pre-approving us for a useless FHA loan and two months of zero communication, subsequently rejected our application all together. Why-oh-why did CHASE then buy our mortgage from Fearon before our first payment was due? We still such a bad deal, CHASE? read more

Well, where can I start with Evan? He's a Godsend and made the home buying process painless. I had heard several horror stories from friends about their realtors and their horrible experiences with agents! We all know real estate agents get a bad rap and are known as door to door salesmen/women. So imagine what I was feeling when it was time to put my house on the market. At times, I was hesitant to even sell, just to avoid the hassle. My dad told me to avoid selling because of the hassles. Well, I got on trusty Yelp to find someone. There was Evan with several great reviews. I called him and as soon as I spoke to him, I felt at ease and comfortable. He is the epitome of a 5 star realtor!! I feel as though he should teach other realtors how it's done, we would all definitely have a different point of view towards them. I expect a lot from everyone in the service industry!! Evan explained the process clearly and was very prompt at emailing/texting/calling me back. One of my pet peeves in life is having to wait too long for a call back or email. I mean, what's so hard about typing or texting a couple of sentences replying to my question. Or simply just letting me know they will call or email me when they get a chance. It's called proper etiquette!! Almost after every conversation we had, he would say "please don't hesitate to call or email with any questions." That made me feel so comfortable because I knew I could reach him with any doubts. And trust me, I did!! Evan made the whole selling process a breeze so it was a no brainer that he was going to help me purchase my new home. He made that process easy as well. I mean is there anything Evan can't do. At times I would say Evan was my counselor, cheerleader, teacher, lawyer and motivator through both of these transactions. I can honestly say Evan cares about his clients and is genuinely looking out for their best interest. I guarantee you will not be let down by Evan. He knows the market like the back of his hand and doesn't give you any bullsh!t. He gives the best advice and doesn't pressure you to do anything you don't feel comfortable with. read more

Where do I begin? We are not new to home buying and selling experience. We have owned sold homes in the past and dealt with Realtors that until now seem sub-par compared to Evan. Evan is a top-notch agent that really, really puts his best foot forward and makes sure his clients are 100% about the choices made from selling price to buying price and home selection. We started our selling and buying journey in April of this year and closed on a home until September. We were not the easiest clients but Evan was always positive and professional. Never once did he lose his cool and always stuck to his guns. Had we followed his lead, we probably would have sold and closed a lot sooner. We encountered a home from a Relocation company that we decided not to pursue, we dealt with a home we inspected, we were excited about that didn't appraise and another home we changed our minds on a few times ( we were very indecisive ). Evan was always working on our side to keep as many options open while keeping other potential options within reach just in case something didn't work out. Long story short, we ended up with an amazing home, zoned to the schools we desired, on a great huge private lot. Through the entire process, never once did Evan rush us or seem pushy. He made sure we were always 100% on everything, every step of the way. He is an amazing negotiator and will use his expertise push for the best. He was always available 24/7 answering calls and emails (even while traveling) . If for some reason there were conflicts in his schedule, he made sure someone was always available to show us homes. He helped us both in Houston and Sugar Land, so he covers all the surrounding Houston area. I recommend Evan to all family and friends. Evan's personality is easy to like. You will not be disappointed. Believe the hype, Even is the best! ( I never feel compelled to write reviews, but Evan deserves high praise -- Evan, thanks again for all your time and effort during our LONG home buying journey!!! We wish you the best! read more

Evan Compean is hands down an amazing realtor. He was our third try at a realtor. After being unsatisfied with two realtors that were referred to us I found Evan through Yelp. I was a little nervous going with someone we didn't know from anyone, but after being very disappointed with the previous two realtors I decided to trust the reviews on Evan. Boy and I'm glad I did!!! I truly hope my review can do Evan justice because he was that great! Not only is Evan smart and knowledgeable but I never felt once he was in it for himself. He always made me feel like he was our number one advocate (which he was) and he cared we got the best deal possible. He truly wanted us to find the best house possible for the best deal available. This being our first home purchase Evan walked us through every step of the way. Even after we closed on the home he was still there for us when we had questions. I'm sure he could have backed off during the loan process since his job was pretty much over, but he didn't. He was there along side of us the whole way and even helped move the process along faster for us. He knows the business inside and out and made sure we were informed and protected. We had considered both building and buying a pre-owned home and Evan was incredibly knowledgeable in both areas. While I'm sure we were not Evan's only clients he made us feel like we were. He responds immediately to texts and emails and always answered our phone calls. To be honest, I always wondered how he did it. I don't think he ever stops working. To top it all off, when we were with him I always felt like I had his undivided attention. He is extremely professional and great at his job! I wish I had tons of people to recommend Evan to because I was so pleased with working with him. I know anyone who would choose to work with Evan would feel the same. read more

I'm a first time home buyer so I was very cautious in picking a realtor. It's a relationship basically and both side has to get along & work well together. Evan can get along with any type of personality. He is very genuine & he REALLY is on your side from start to finish & not just trying to sell you any house. He wants you to be happy with your purchase & will advocate for you! I had problems with the seller/contractor (who was a real pain), evan was the one who took care of it all for me---going back & forth with emails with the seller. I would tell him my concerns & within hours he had already email the seller & came back with an answer for me. He's good at communicating with his clients professionally and answers emails/text promptly. I never had to wait for long periods of time for him to answer back. Since the contractors gave me problems, (totally different story & you can PM me about it) Me & my husband would have been stressed out with the buying process, however bc of evan, we couldn't have gotten through it without him. He has great knowledge of home construction and know what to look for structurally in a house. It took us a long time to find a home & not once did evan made us feel rushed or I was taking up too much of his time. I never sensed any type of pressure to "hurry up and buy"---bc like I mentioned earlier, he is on your side! To sum it up, evan made the buying process easy for me & he will not disappoint you! Awesome customer service! Just call him! You won't regret it! read more

My husband and I started house hunting in Houston from out of town in April of this year, and after being frustrated meeting with a couple of other realtors from big companies, went with Evan as our realtor. He was a big difference from the other realtors we had met--while other realtors would talk up anything and everything about a crappy property (no central A/C = saves electricity!!), the minute we walked into a house, Evan would start evaluating its foundation, roof, and HVAC system to see how much work we would need to do to fix it up. He responded to emails and phone calls very quickly, and very patiently took us to see probably close to 30 houses before we finally decided to make an offer on one. Once we found a house we liked, Evan was in his element. He was knowledgeable enough to know what the lowest price to offer was, while still being likely to get the house. Once our offer was accepted, Evan was again indispensable when it came to recommendations for inspectors and lenders. He saved us more money by encouraging us to get a plumbing inspection--turns out the plumbing was super old even though the listing suggested it had been replaced recently, and we were able to get some $ off the offer price. All in all, Evan was very patient, and willing to listen and act on our concerns and questions. We were first time home buyers, and inconveniently house hunting from out of town. I don't know how we would've got through it without him. read more

My wife and I are very happy to have worked with Evan in selling our house at Houston. We found Evan on Yelp and contacted him. Evan's first impressions was a young and driven agent who is professional and friendly. We felt comfortable when we realized he was a good listener and adviser, who gave prompt and detailed answers to all of our email questions. During the listing period, Evan demonstrated that he was well-prepared and equipped on traditional and digital (social-media) marketing, and was quick to print out and distribute our listing in many channels. His team worked fast and within a short week, we were up on the market! During the selling period, we had a few potential buyers, and Evan was always giving us open and honest advice about our home. He took the initiative to help gather information on competing units that closed recently and help us make well-informed decisions based on the data. We felt that he was doing his best for the seller's interest, allowing us to determine the conditions of the sale. We never felt pressured to adjust our conditions of sale and he offered great advice throughout the process. All in all, we had a very smooth sale with Evan as our selling agent. He was friendly and well-spoken, and had a lean and professional team that moved fast in making sure our listing reached a wide audience. We highly recommend Evan to all people looking forward to selling/buying a home! read more

When we decided to sell our house, for the 3rd time, we checked online for an agent who has good reviews. And, that's how we found Evan. We gave Evan a chance and we liked what we saw. We had lots of questions throughout the process and Evan would answered all those questions thoroughly. And I mean thoroughly! And he would offered more info that we didn't think of asking! We appreciated the way he answered our questions because that prevented the unnecessary back and forth emails. After a few weeks with not much luck, we had to pull our house off the market. At the time, people were telling us that we should switch agent. And this is what people usually do. But, for us, there was no doubt in our minds that we were going to use Evan again when we were ready. And a few months later, we called back Evan. And this time around, we're successful in selling our house! For us who lead busy lives, we needed someone who understood us. What was important to us. Explain to us what to expect. Someone who would follow through. We needed an agent who would manage the process, as opposed to us having to contact the agent asking for follow ups. And, we found the solution to all these when we dealt with Evan! Would we use Evan again in the future? Absolutely! When we're ready to purchase again, we'd be contacting Evan, for sure. So, thanks Evan! I also want to thank your team, too! Thanks all! read more

Working with Evan and his family-run team was an outstanding experience and ultimately led to a better outcome on my home sale than I expected. From the beginning, their approach was far more hands-on than a typical agent. Pilar and Celena did an incredible job staging the home -- it completely elevated how the property showed both in person and online. Evan also coordinated contractors to handle interior and exterior paint and prep work, and everything was done with real attention to detail. The goal was clearly to present the home at its absolute best, and it made a noticeable difference. Evan's market knowledge and pricing strategy were especially valuable. Based on his research and the strength of the pre-marketing efforts, he recommended listing at a higher price than I initially thought made sense. That strategy paid off -- we had strong interest right away and ultimately accepted a full-price offer shortly after hitting the market. Just as important, the process itself was smooth and well-managed. Evan was responsive, organized, and proactive at every step, which made what can be a stressful process feel straightforward and controlled. If you're looking for an agent in the Houston area who will put in the work, guide you with data-driven advice, and focus on maximizing your outcome, I would highly recommend Evan and his team. read more

Evan exceeded our expectations as a buyer's agent during our new home construction. His outstanding service and exceptional interpersonal skills ensured that our home construction process was smooth and hassle free. He handled all our negotiations with the builder and worked hard to ensure that we reached a deal that were happy with. He kept us updated throughout the construction process, attended the construction meetings when we were out of the country, and made great recommendations regarding the home inspections. He was a sounding board for us to determine the best options for our mortgage and made sure that the closing process was smooth and efficient. As a first time home buyer, we really came to appreciate his advice, honesty, and exceptional customer service. We were amazed by the fact that Evan continued to demonstrate the highest level of service at every stage of the process from beginning to end , which was evident from his quick response to every question that we ever had. Evan is the extremely knowledgeable about the Pearland area and if you are thinking of buying a home, you can count on him to be an amazing resource on your behalf , who will work hard to help you achieve your dream home. read more

Evan is an excellent realtor, a great person and friend. We found him through an online forum and chose him based on all the excellent reviews he got from others. His advice and suggestions through each and every step of our home building process were so valuable. As first time home buyers, we always had questions, Evan was very efficient, tech savvy, always available, if I email him about any question I had, I was guaranteed to get a reply from him right away. He attended all the important meetings we had with the builder, frame walk and final inspection, gave suggestions that we wouldn't have known otherwise. He also referred us to the best mortgage company, Smarter Mortgages. We got extremely competitive rates, no closing costs, everything was done online or by email/phone, had the best experience in closing our home, thanks to Evan and Lisa/Heather from Smarter Mortgages. I would (and have) recommend Evan to any one without any hesitation. Many people think they do not need a realtor while buying a new construction home, I would say you should get a realtor, a good one like Evan, so every step of buying your home is smooth. Thanks a lot Evan. Our best wishes to you for everything. read more

Had a tenant leave my investment property recently and decided it was time to offload it. Having worked with Evan in the past, he was the first call I made. It was my first time selling a house and in the middle of a pandemic, I was petrified! He responded quickly and understood my urgency to get this house off my books. Evan performed a thorough market analysis and he suggested a price point, which in the end, I ended up selling it for more than I expected! Laurel was also incredible to work with too! She came over to view the property while I was making repairs and suggested a few items to help add value. I was hesitant because I didn't want to spend any more money or time on the property, but I am so glad I took her advice. She's got a great eye for this and noticed things I would have never thought of doing. I had offers in before it hit the MLS! Bottom line, these two are a pleasure to work with and make the selling process super easy. All points of the transaction ran without a hitch. They are honest, genuine, and very knowledgeable about the whole real estate process. Appreciate all the time they took to answer my many questions, which to me is key! read more

My husband and I used Yelp to find a realtor in the Houston area after going through another unresponsive realtor who we were referred to by a friend - we decided to go with Evan after reading previous reviews and we were not disappointed! Our first home purchase also included a relocation from NY and Evan was made aware of this from the very first conversation and he had experience with relocations so this was a bonus. Not only was he attentive, patient, and pleasant but he was our eyes and ears on so many aspects of the process, including the home inspection since we were not able to be in Houston on that particular day. We closed one week before our move date and had it not been for his attentiveness, genuine care, and concern we don't think it would have been possible. Evan works tirelessly for his client from day 1, he will give you his honest opinion on everything but yet he is not pushy about it. Even after the home buying process he is still there if you need him. We would without hesitation recommend him to anyone who is looking to purchase a home in the Houston area! read more

Whether you are looking to buy, sell, or both... I would strongly recommend Evan and his team - without a doubt! My husband and I came to Evan after taking our home off the market with another agent. We were discouraged, and realized that not all agents can assist with the buying and selling process with equal skill. Evan is certainly an exception to this rule! He was absolutely phenomenal. He provided extensive and accurate comps, set our expectations properly, marketed our home fantastically, communicated well and stayed on top of all opportunities. Due to all the hard work from him and his team, we quickly sold our house during the off season! So incredibly thankful. Evan also assisted us in the purchase of our new home, and due to his wonderful negotiation skills we got our dream home within budget. They were there every step of the way, and even assisted us in solving an issue that came up during the final walk through. Thank you SO much Evan! We recommend you to all family and friends, and if we ever need to find a new dream home you will be receiving a call! read more

We were relocating from Chicago to Houston and knew very little about the area. From the first email I sent Evan with some general questions he went above and beyond. That very first email he responded very quickly and asked if he could just call due to the amount of information. We probably talked for 40 minutes. Coming from 1,000 miles away we had a lot of questions. He patiently answered all questions. There was no high pressure sale at all. He waited until we informed him when we were ready to start actually looking. Once we started the process he listened to what we wanted, asked us specific questions to get a better idea how to narrow our search. He gave us several options for the inspector, loan officers, etc and then let us make our decision. He guided us when we asked but let us make our own decisions. The process went so smooth, and we found the perfect house. I would tell anyone and everyone to use Evan with their buying process. He is experienced, incredibly knowledgable, and patient with the out of towners! read more

This is the second home Evan and his amazing team have sold for me. Presentation, presentation, presentation followed up by follow up, follow up, follow up are the two keys to his success. Both properties were sold within 10 days, and netted me a nice profit. On this past sell, the appraisal came in low, and the deal seemed about dead. Evan worked his magic, and started negotiating and to my surprise the buyer made up most of the difference, and we were able to seal the deal. The presentation of the home far exceeded my expectations. Pictures are always bright and crips, and taken at the right angles. One of the best in the business 3-D modeling is added as well. As soon as the house hit the market, I was flooded with folks interested. My wife and I have also used him for rental homes, and same quality service provided. It's a hot market, and you can find anyone to be honest to sell a house but to get top dollar go with a pro - go with Evan Compean and his team!!! read more

When we decided to buy our first home, i started looking online for Realtors. The moment we spoke to him, we were sure we wanted to pick him as our agent. The decision to buy a home in itself is extremely draining and being first time home buyers we brought a lot of anxiety and questions. Since our budget was tight and demands were specific it took almost a year to find the right home. Evan was extremely considerate of our demands through out the search. Even when we decided to temporarily suspend our search, he was patient and at no point did he try to force the issue. Whether it was email or phone, Evan was always prompt and detailed in his response. There were several instances where he would point out subtle details of a house that we would have never noticed. His inputs prevented us from making a wrong decision. Evan exceeded our expectations during the closing process too and helped close on time. We would highly recommend Evan to anyone looking to buy their next home. read more

I met Evan Nov, 2019, found his name online when I was interviewing for agents to sell my home. He WAS the ONLY agent that said that if he was going to be the agent for this property, he would highlight the size of the property before the home itself. I had a 6,000 sq ft piece of land with a 1698 sq ft house on it, so needless to say the backyard was huge. But he was the only one that said he could get the price I wanted! The house sold Feb. 2020 and I only drop the asking price by $5K! While there was several issues surrounding the buyer and his agent, both Laurel and Evan were there for me every step of the way. They were both either emailing me or texting me letting me know what was going on and what the next steps would be. They make an awesome team, and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to buy or sell a home, these 2 will be in your corner fighting for you every step of the way! read more

After much of a year, and 5 realtors later, my daughter found Evan on Yelp and urged me to call him. Much of the difficulty came from trying to buy a house in Houston while living in Austin, and working with realtors who showed little interest. I was glad I made the call. Evan encouraged me that there were properties coming on the market all the time and that we could find a good fit at a price I could afford. He saved me a nice amount of money by suggesting the offering price, recommending top-notch inspectors, and through outstanding negotiations. Evan was fully engaged throughout the entire process, and I felt like I received the same high level attention that someone with a much larger budget would experience. I feel confident in recommending Evan--and in fact, have recommended him to my grandson. read more
